This dive site, Grand Anse Beach, is a shallow, easily accessible reef located near the popular Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada. With an average depth of 3 meters (10 feet) that gradually slopes to 13 meters (40 feet), it offers a gentle introduction to underwater exploration. Navigation is straightforward, typically following the reef line away from the beach. There is no significant historical context mentioned; it primarily serves as a natural, protected marine habitat.
The reef is populated with many juveniles of various reef fish, with angelfish being particularly notable, making it a vibrant nursery ecosystem. Divers can also look for sharptail eels hiding in the sandy patches and might occasionally spot a torpedo ray resting on the seabed.
The best time to visit this dive site is generally during Grenada's dry season, from January to May, when weather is calmest and visibility is optimal. It's an excellent spot for beginner divers to practice skills and enjoy marine life without deep dives. Snorkelers will also find it very rewarding due to its shallow average depth and abundant fish life. Freedivers can enjoy exploring the reef's varied depths.
